As the clocks went back last week and the nights start to get darker, Farmers Insurance is urging motorists to take extra precautions to ensure their vehicles are safe over the winter months, and avoid becoming victims of Christmas crim.
A survey of 1,200 people, discovered that despite the darkness, a large percentage of motorist aren’t taking the necessary safety precautions, as only 32% of drivers park their car in well lit areas and further 24% of driver are leaving their cars running whilst they defrost their windshields.
Furthermore, with the festive season upon us, 72% of motorist are leaving valuable Christmas presents on the back seats, tempting thieves to break into their cars.
This news comes despite the 20% increase in stolen vehicles during the winter months last year.
The extra hours of darkness are allowing more time for thieves to break into vehicles unseen. It is therefore important motorists always park in well lit areas, try to hide any valuable objects away from sight and make sure to lock your car doors.
